Retail workers need to know that we don’t have to wait around for one of the business unions to take a shine to their workplace to organize. The Industrial Workers of the World’s IU 660 is an industrial union dedicated not just to “getting respect” or what have you, but to bringing the retail industry as a whole under cooperative (workers’) ownership and management, and IWW membership is open to all workers in every workplace right now; we organize workers, not workplaces. You can learn more at IWW.org or at a special IWW project web site, FRWU.net. FRWU stands for “Food and Retail Workers United” and is a collaboration between IWW IUs 460, 640, and 660. We also have a Starbucks Workers Union, a Jimmy John’s Workers Union, and a brand-new Pizza Hut Workers Union.

We need government legislation giving retail workers,..more vacation time, higher wages . Holidays.,.and Sundays off. Being realistic not all stores will go for a union. It’s not going to happen. Government laws protect everyone . This is what we should be pushing for.,http://www.saveoursundays,ca
